These units all do something interesting but probably have cheaper and/or stronger alternatives above. Lando No matter how well concealed they are, however, the Rebel Commandos will inevitably draw the attention—and fire—of opposing forces. When your sniper team comes under fire, they can always There is an interesting little rules nuance regarding cohesion and clambering, in the vertical movement section. Here is is: Within the Rebel Commandos Unit Expansion, you’ll find a squad of seven unpainted, easily assembled Rebel Commando miniatures. You may field this unit as a full, standard unit on your battlefield or a small team operating on the edges of the map or behind enemy lines, but no matter how you position the Rebel Commandos, their unorthodox tactics and powerful weapons can sway the battle in the Rebellion’s favor. With five distinct upgrade cards that can be added to the Rebel Commandos or another unit, you’ll find everything you need to put fear in Imperial hearts with this expansion for Star Wars: Legion."

These are units that are still good, but often need to have specialized lists build around them or require some more familiarity with game mechanics. points is a lot, but Uplink can be really helpful for utilizing that last/first activation to get some offensive bombing done. It also combos with command cards like No Time For Sorrows, making the No Time For Sorrows peekabo a little easier. Summary

Summary

The recent points update brought quite a few cuts to a slew of Rebel units, shuffling around the internal balance of the factions and (hopefully) allowing the recently struggling Rebel Alliance to compete with their red save nemeses. We’ll take a look at how things shake out for the Rebel roster after the points update. Also, while I’m sure Ewoks will shake things up, they aren’t actually out yet so they won’t be included on this list. Not dealing the same high damage as Luke, Leia’s skills across both ranged and melee combat instead make her more flexible as a commander. Her Sharpshooter keyword ability is noteworthy for dismissing target cover, but it’s through her team buffs that she really shines. Inspire removes suppression tokens from nearby troops, and the Take Cover ability grants doge tokens to those nearby. Keep her close to weak troops as you charge headlong into the throes of conflict. With a smaller points price tag than Luke, fielding Leia will free up enough space to add another Rebel Trooper squadron with an added Z-6 chaingun to your army – useful if you’re after greater heavy firepower. This Article was written in July of 2022, if you read it significantly after that date the information may be out of date. Commandos can litter the field with remotely-detonated proton charges, too, to keep distant from the enemy. When deployed strategically, they can prevent opponents sneaking up on your flanks, or directing them to the line of sight of stronger units. Although these folks can be fielded as a single, large squad sporting two heavy weapons, some players choose to build a two-miniature strike team carrying only a single sniper – a points-efficient way of dishing out harrying volleys. The Proton Charge Saboteur plants a proton charge that can be detonated if the Stormtroopers attempt to claim the objective token!

Range Diversity –As one of the launch factions, Rebels have a lot more options open to them. Almost any playstyle you want to try Rebels have something to make it work. Gunline? Melee specialists? Heavy vehicles? It’s all here. Sabotage requires the placement of four objectives; two by you, and two by your opponent. Often this results in a stalemate; each player places two ‘safe’ objectives and spends the first phases of the game repairing/sabotaging their respective objectives, then either attempts a win on points or makes a play on one of the opposing vaporators. The important thing for a saboteur player is this: blue player wins ties. This includes ties of zero points destroyed. Get your two ‘safe’ vaporators taken care of, and then mine the crap out of them and hide your other stuff. Your opponent is going to have to come to your side of the table to attempt to make a play for another objective or to destroy some points. Don’t give them any free kills. The first step to effective snipers is making sure they have access to good lanes. Ideally, you want them to cover something important; an approach to an objective, or some key terrain piece. Here are the considerations to worry about: If the T-47 is hurting from the obscene level of Impact necessitated by Dark Troopers existing, AT-RTs are absolutely crippled by it. The humble AT-RT has always been fragile despite it’s Armor keyword, and with everyone bringing huge quantities of Impact they just melt. Swoops Scout is a new keyword that lets a unit take a free move after deploying. Note this move completely ignores difficult terrain (as if the unit had the Unhindered keyword).I’m sure you’re familiar with the S through F grades inherent in tier lists, but we’re going to add a bit more nuance to those ranks: Releasing alongside the Han Solo Commander Expansion in the third quarter of 2018, the Rebel Commandos Unit Expansion is poised to shake your Rebel armies to their core. Read on for a closer look at what you’ll find inside this expansion! Introduced to the canon in DICE’s 2017 videogame Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Iden Versio has become something of a hot topic in Star Wars: Legion. Boasting a slew of original and effective abilities that can be easily integrated with an existing force, Versio’s power is matched only by her variability. A 100-point unit cost might seem steep, but her abilities make every point worth it. An unconventional leader like Han Solo needs unconventional soldiers to lead into battle and the Rebel Commandos Unit Expansion is the perfect complement to one of the Rebellion’s most iconic heroes. Like Solo, the seven unpainted, easily assembled miniatures found in this expansion behave a little differently than their fellow soldiers, opening up all sorts of new tactical possibilities for your Rebel armies.

Both dice hit: leave the result. You would have to roll into two crits to get a better result, which is just a 1/64 chance.

The format of this article will be a little different, since the full squad and strike team play differently but share the same weapon upgrade. First we’ll hit some high level pros and cons common to both versions of Commando saboteurs, then we’ll look at the proton charge stats. Lastly, we’ll look at the differences between the full squad and strike team, and some tactics.
